Looks nice with the teflon caps. Hey what size did most of you go with the 17" or 18" and what offset zero or the neg. Im just getting ready to pick out a wheel tire combo, and I will be using a set of spider trax spacers.

Mine are actually 16" with 0 offset. I am running stock tire size (265/75/16r) with no lift. They clear fine, but I have no spacers though. Not needed. However, if you go any bigger, you might need to do the body mount chop.

I will be installing a 3" lift, On your Zero offset wheels did the wheel move outboard any?

I have the 16 inch chambers, no spacers, and everything is fine?

Thanks for the info, I'm less than please that all of my center caps are rusting after 2 months of use. Here's the pathetic response from them.


Please order Stainless Steel Centercaps through your American Racing
dealer if your operating environment is conducive to Rust as described
below. These have a 5 year no Rust Warranty.

Question: I have the Mojave 17" rims and the center caps are staring to
rust on all 4 rims? I've had these on since the end of November 07

I sorry to hear that ruebarb. My experince with AR has been the same. Not very helpful. I got my other caps. I actually like them better cause they don't stick out so much. The chrome doesn't look so bad because of the silver rim on the Victors. Here are some pics. I might sell my telfon ones.

Yeah and you have 295s? They don't rub against the body mount at turn/flex?

I think they stick out a little more than stock. I don't know the stock rim measurements though so I don't really know.

CoCruiser1380, those caps look nice and short - so are they part number 1425092020? I just want to make sure I order the correct ones. I may try to paint them to match my teflon Chambers.

Yes, just click on the link in the first post. That's where I ordered them from. I have thought of painting them too but would want to find a matching paint. Does anyone know if someone makes a teflon spray paint?

[powerfj]

Ordered - thanks.
